Can't Touch This 7-13-2020


On the 4th all the cities around us cancelled all their firework shows so everyone bought their own stuff and fired them off. It was really cool because where ever you looked there were fireworks going off in a 360 degree radius.

Monday we did more weeding and at the end they had us play with their dog which was a lot of fun because we would launch a frisbee and the dog would book it to catch it. We also got haircuts which was nice.

Wednesday we talked about the rest of Nephi's vision of the tree of life which was great. We had some more lessons the rest of the day and one of the people we had a lesson with were a hilarious young couple.

Thursday I learned that filing cabinets are heavy when they are full of paper. We went back and helped a lady move that we started on Wednesday. Also that throwing things away is crucial or your house will be chalk full of garbage and old relics. Later we met with a guy preparing for a mission and had a really good talk with him. He looks a lot like Brother Padilla which is a plus.

Saturday we went on exchanges with Elder K


and we had a lesson with a family who had a daughter who had been hit by a truck. We talked about the plan of salvation and after they were very thankful we had talked with them.

Sunday on the way to church. On the way we saw this girl (probably 10) walking by herself. When we got to church she walked in and sat by herself. During the meeting she got up and shared her testimony with the entire congregation. We were so impressed that a 10 year old would come to church by herself and without being told to get up and share her testimony in front of everyone that we walked up to her afterwards and thanked her.

Miracle of the Week: Our wards scheduled a good amount of lessons with members next week which is awesome!

Quote of the Week: "I might need some help later this week. My ankle is messed up and I need help turning on my xbox"
 
Pictures (hopefully in order):
1. Peach soda which was pretty good (but hard to open)

3. Haircuts!

I'll be finishing up my mission tomorrow and will be flying home Tuesday. Things came together and J was able to baptized on Sunday. We were so excited and she was super ready to make that covenant. Have a great week and thanks for your prayers! Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks I know that Jesus is the Christ and He lives today. You can pray and learn that for yourself! Try it!

Just another email about conference 4/6/2020

Fun story: I just got a call and I have been called to be a District Leader (in charge of a small group of missionaries) and they added another stake to our area as well. Shout out to Elder K for being a district leader as well!! This week was pretty interesting. The beginning we we didn't have much to do and it was kinda miserable. However, the second half of the week we were like screw it, we are going to work hard because we have nothing else to do. As that happened, we saw that we were both much more happier and a lot less depressed. I we had more lessons with people as well as the chance to talk to some of my friends (y'all) about the church as well which awesome to see them and talk about what brings me happiness. General Conference was Saturday and Sunday and it was fantastic. Last General Conference we were told that this one was going to be not only memorable but unforgettable and boy did they pull out all the stops. Went our church building and watched ...

Monday night they had a BBQ across the street and a the police came and did a presentation and gave tours of some of their vehicles. They also would cuff you if you wanted.   Tuesday we crashed a youth activity and the young women were doing a salon so we joined in an get masks and had my toenails painted.    Wednesday we rearranged our bedroom a little to give more space for our beds which ended up working out well. In the evening we had an ice cream social with one of the wards we cover and we got to chat with the and met a lot of people. They also had a ton of left over ice cream so we now have a stash of ice cream at the church whenever we want it.   Thursday we went to this homemade ice cream place in downtown bountiful which as really good ice cream. In the evening we were on a walk to visit people and it started thunder storming which I enjoyed since we haven't had any rain in a couple months and I love thunderstorms.   Friday we had District Coun...
